I think the feds need to come in and take over. The story of the Ferguson police beating and arresting two (black) reporters from the Washington Post was truly horrifying, not to mention yelling at the protesters “Bring it!” These police think they’re in a war against a demonized enemy, not the American citizens who pay their wages. Interesting that when we actually HAVE the police acting as the jack-booted, militarized thugs, the conservatives are disturbingly quiet. Mike Brown not as photogenic as Cliven Bundy, Fox News? What would be the reason for that, I wonder?
